Project methology

In order to attain the objectives, the project will be divided in 3 WorkPackages. Each workpackage is subdivided into tasks.

Workpackage 1 Avalanche Information System	Task 1.1	Mutual access to existing national avalanche information
	Task 1.2	Harmonization and standardization of avalanche data bases
	Task 1.3	Cross tests of existing models for avalanche mapping
	Task 1.4	Integration of models for avalanche mapping
	Task 1.5	Tests of integrated models for avalanche mapping
Workpackage 2 Avalanche Warning Systems	Task 2.1	Set of functional requirements
	Task 2.2	Detection system design
	Task 2.3	Sensor selection, adaptation and tests
	Task 2.4	Guidelines for industrial avalanche warning systems
Workpackage 3 Validation of models used for mapping and test of sensors used for warning purpose	Task 3.1	Data exchanges and preparation of experimental activity
	Task 3.2	Coordinated experiments	Task 3.2.1	Avalanche mass balance determination
			Task 3.2.2	Measurement of physical parameters of non-perturbed flow
			Task 3.2.3	Interaction between avalanches and obstacles
	Task 3.3	Validation of numerical avalanche models
